In the past two weeks we have been in the road. I wish I could post about fun adventures we go on. Unfortunately, we don't get to go see anyone but the doctor! Wednesday it was a weight check (7 lb 9 oz), Thursday it was to have her ears rechecked, and today we went to the eye doctor. Dr. Logan wanted to get Blair's eyes checked to make sure that her having been on oxygen hasn't caused abnormal vessels to grow in her retina. Everything looked great, so we are thankful. The small amount of oxygen that she's on now should have no effect on her eyes, so we don't have plans to go back to the eye doctor any time soon. Now lets hope she doesn't get her mommy's vision!

While I was getting all of our equipment ready to go this morning, Blair occupied herself in the cradle staring at the mobile. She likes the mobile above the swing, but this was the first time this one grabbed and kept her attention.Since she was in the car a lot today and thankfully sleeps like a champ while we ride, tonight she was ready to play. She was smiling away.

Brad is my husband of 6 years and the reason I live across the branch. From a very young age he knew he'd be a farmer. God gave him the love and the talent -- and he's the best looking and the best dressed farmer I know! He's funny, creative, and he's the most wonderful husband and father. He's the one that can make Blair light up like no other.

Blair is four! We are so blessed to have her. She was born very sick, but God gave her strength and brought her through it. She has hearing loss called Auditory Neuropathy and wears hearing aids. She also has chronic lung disease, but you wouldn't know by seeing her! She is the busiest, funniest little thing who keeps us laughing and on our toes. I thank God for her every day.

Leighton is the happy roly poly who joined our family this summer. He has been a joy and is as sweet as his big sister! He's such a blessing, and we're so thankful for him!
